On June 22, 2025, Carlos Alcaraz, world No. 2, equaled Rafael Nadal’s record of four grass-court titles by winning his second Queen’s Club Championships crown, defeating Jiri Lehecka 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 in a thrilling final, per Tennisuptodate. At just 22, Alcaraz has now matched Nadal and Feliciano López as the Spanish men with the most grass-court titles, boasting an impressive 29-3 career record on the surface, a 90% win rate that surpasses Nadal’s 79% and López’s 62%, per Puntodebreak. Alcaraz’s grass titles include Queen’s Club (2023, 2025) and Wimbledon (2023, 2024), while Nadal’s four comprise Wimbledon (2008, 2010), Queen’s Club (2008), and Stuttgart (2015), per Yardbarker.
Alcaraz’s achievement is remarkable given the challenging transition from clay to grass, a feat he accomplished just weeks after winning Roland Garros, a rare double last achieved by Nadal in 2008, per The Sport Review. His 18-match winning streak and 5-0 record in Grand Slam finals highlight his dominance, with X posts like @TheTennisLetter noting, “Carlos Alcaraz has won 4 grass court titles, which is the same number Rafa Nadal finished his career with. 22 years old. Stunning accomplishment,” per. As Alcaraz prepares for Wimbledon, starting June 30, he aims to join Bjorn Borg as the only players to win the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in consecutive years, per ATP Tour.
